My goal is first to get Python building on 10.4 (i386 arch) and then to worry about multi-arch binaries. Once that happens I can start to do the steps to build multi-arch, but that is a secondary goal because I think we could live with different downloads for ppc and i386 for the short term. > Additionally, you'll end up with a Python that has these SDK-build > flags baked into its Makefile, so it's not ideally distributable -- > because building extensions would require having the SDK(s) > installed... but perhaps that's not a terrible idea, to have a > separate distribution of Python designed for building redistributable > applications.

If the binaries I build are useful I can make them available if that helps. -- bear _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
